To all when@ t may concern: Y

Be it known that We, JOHN CGLEMAN and HENRY MOORE, citizens of theUnited States, residing at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, haveinvented certain new and 'useful Improvements in Attachments forVVater-Closetk Bowls and we do declare the following to be xactdescription of the irlvention, such as'will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to inakeand use the same, reference being hadto thje accoinl. panying drawings, and to theiigures/v of refer# encemarked thereon, Whiclpierni apart ofi this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in an attachment for Water-closetbowls; andit s 'n the novel arrangement,"construe'A tion, andcombination of parts, as will be more .fully hereinafter described, andvset forth in the claims.

One object of this in a device to be attached closet which will provigas tight joint by mean nection.

Another object is the relation of the device o the bowl for preventingsaid bowl from becoming broken bythe sinking of the licor or settling ofthe building, which is of common occurrence. Referring to the drawings,Figure lis a side elevation of our complete device detached from thebowl. Fig. 2 is a verticalsectional taken lapproximately Fig. 3 is ahorizontal approximately on the' vention is to construct to the bowl ofa Waterde a water and sewersot' its adjustable conthrough the center.sectional viewtaken line a a of Fig. 2.

In the construction ofthe device, we provide a cylindrical tube l., anydesirable manner as shown", which is in connected to the 'horn isprovided at its one end with aprojeeting iiange 2. Below the flange isan extension 3 of thi-nner material than the tube proper and adapted tobe titte in o a ru-b' ber spud 4:, its purpose being. full 'f he 'einafter set forth. The rubber spu'd 4 is provided! at its upper end with aprojecting -dange 5,

whic" is to snugly' fit against .the under sur? face of the fiange 2 andthe nppersrface ofl :nipple 6 andare eacv securely' and formed integraltherewith` 2.) The cap 7 has at its-upper end an inf wardly-p rejectingflange 8 ,Which seats against the upper surface of' the flange 2. Thenip ple 6 is formed integral with a cylin larger circumference wardly toany desired `der is placed the horn ner surface With a plurality ofgrooves 1l. In this horn, attached to bowl, is held the rub'- ber spudby means of a metallic ring 12, actgyits' te dency bein the rubber spudwithin the manner as shown in Fig. 2, thereby tightly and extendingdownlength. In this cylin r holding-the same therein and causing a tightjoint. The ring l2 is constructed, as shown in Fig. `3, with its endslapping each other and formed at their extremities into inwardlyL benthooks. The normal `tendency of the spring is to opel to a largerdiameter, which causes a perfect joint by pressing the rubber into thegroove 1l of the horn; but byinserting a suitable tool ping ends arecaused to slide over each other, which reduces the diameter yof thering, as is necessary in removing or inserting the rubber Within `thehorn. lSaid tool is introduced from the upper end of -the device shownin Fig. 2 andthe cap later.
